Parakacuk: Raise Your Gang

Not the best game I've ever played, to be sure. In terms of gameplay, it's pretty average. The controls are a little janky, some mechanics are pretty janky, the animations are subpar, the graphics are very outdated, the voice acting is very amateurish and inconsistent, and the sound mixing is bad. So why do I still recommend it? Heart and soul. You can tell the devs really put their all into this. They wear their inspirations of Bully, Yakuza, and maybe even some Persona on their sleeves. The characters are fun, the story and writing are surprisingly good, and the game knows when to take itself seriously and when not to. This is the game the devs *wanted* to make, not the one that they *had* to make. If this game seems at all interesting to you, and you're able to put up with some jank and some occasional frustration (which you should be able to if you're looking at this game in the first place, since you likely won't end up here if you only play AAA slop), then this is a must-play, if for no other reason than to see what a game looks like when it's made by devs that truly care about their product. I'm very much looking forward to the sequel!
Most importantly, don't be a KONTOL!

The negative reviews of this game are all right. If you want to know why, go read 'em. That being said, if you're into delinquent manga or manwha and Yakuza games, you won't be too upset.
Yes, there's a lot of jank. Yes, Budi will be cursing every two seconds, and yes, the characters range from inconsistent and annoying to average in terms of two-dimensional writing. Yes, some of the minigames are downright unfair (bird minigame). The sound design in fights is so flat, it makes you feel like you're slapping soggy steaks in a gym locker with a piece of paper instead of throwing a punch. The voice acting can be spotty. There's a ton of padding, and fighting for the sake of fighting. The translation isn't the most natural, and there's a lot of texting speak and memes just kinda shoehorned in there for kicks.
...I'll bet you're reading this and wondering "then why the heck are you recommending it?"
One reason: the jank is all a plus because it's the funny kind of jank.
The combat stutters are the fun cheesy kind. You never know what kind of thing the characters are going to say next, even if it's lame. Fights are enjoyable enough that you don't get too tired of the padding. There are a ton of little details around the map that really show the developers put care into making it. The graphics are great too, with solid 3D visuals and fun 2D character portraits that are very expressive. Each character has a lot of variation in their portrait (maybe even more than necessary), which again shows that there's care put into the game. Whether you like what they made or not, the devs definitely tried. They put out the kind of game that they wanted, and it's actually finished. That's hard to do. Respect to them for that.
Also, side tangent, but Richard is great. His voice actor delivers the lines with all the relish you'd expect of an edgy kid selling contraband out of his Nike backpack in between periods. I liked his writing a lot more than all the other characters, and whenever he said something I would always listen because I knew it'd be worth my while. Richard is definitely the best part of this game.
Troublemaker isn't high art. This game won't change your ideas on gaming or help you achieve nirvana, but that's alright. Sometimes, in between the Fromsoft titles and the psychadelic rpgmaker games, you need a fun little palette cleanser to turn your brain off to. This is that game. If you saw the trailer and thought it looked neat, then buy it on sale.
TL;DR It's not the best, but it's the fun kind of "not the best". And it has Richard.

Its good but buggy and cringe
In a way that is authentic
Its an indonesian game so its a plus

Yeee BuckFoi.
TroubleMaker is like Yakuza At Home, Good game Indie.

First of all, I am really amazed with this developer who make this game. I am really enjoying this game.
I am a Malaysian and I admit that this game is really enjoyable. I already sharing the experience and suggested my friend to play this game BEFORE I even finished it (I think I am at chapter 10).
The easter egg, the parody and the storyline is Great + Nonsense make it more laughable. In term of graphic, lets put it aside because I believe the developer for this game just started but they give their best.. I already checked their next game 'Troublemaker 2' the graphic become better that I hope the story and the gameplay + fighting style be much better. Im not saying it's suck but it still got potential.
AUDIO.. PLEASE MAKE IT MOREEEEEEEEEEE.. dont make it only say few things again and again and again.. But I love Bobby when he say "F*** Boy"
In term of bug, there are some that I found along my play:
1. After I do sick combo or break the opponent block, I cant move unless i press any attack button
2. I did one of the mini game and after that, my BUDI is missing (turn invisible)
3. I already beating all of the opponent yet the scene doesnt continue because one of the opponent lose in standing position.
Overall I am really glad all of the bug can be settle in an easy way such as just press 'start' to pause and there is the return to last checkpoint choice.
THE ART STYLE IS REALLY REALLY REALLY AMAZING AND DO PAT THE CAT
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.. IM FALLING IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME AND HOPE IT WILL GETTING BETTER AND HAVE LOTS OF CONTINUATION IN THE FUTURE..

Am absolutely loving this game despite some of its flaws, its very fun in spite of them. Can't wait for 2, gonna play the demo as soon as I am done.
EDIT: Finished the game and I absolutely loved it, cannot wait to get my hands on the second one! Played through it two times.

Already beat the game ! it was fun ! The story and writing very good. I really enjoy the story of the game. the backstory and also their friendship. if you play Bully or Yakuza, you'll love it. Maybe the controls or animation little bit stiffy. But, its fine for me, it still playable. i'll rate 5 stars ★★★★★ This is a big development for Indonesia game dev in the gaming industry. i'll always support local game dev ! looking forward to Troublemaker 2 Beyond Dreams ! Semangat buat para developer !
